Feedback and Food For Thought

We finally settled on an idea for our two minute character piece...

We decided to scrap sticking to a certain disability as we had originally made our character have autism, but by just playing on the rules of her having a mental disability this takes off some of the restrictions we would have had. Our character is building a den, and we watch this process through their eyes and a range of close ups that hide the fact that the character is an adult. Something that will be revealed before the ending of the piece.

During the tutorial today we had a few points that we needed to consider about our character in terms of the depth to what she was doing.
1) What's the symbolism behind building a den
2) Though she has a mental disability what characteristics will she display in order to make this clear to the audience aside from her being an adult.
3) Lastly though she has the mentality of a child, what age are we looking at as there are vast differences between the mannerisms of children between the ages of 0-1, 2-4, 5-7, 8-10, etcetera.
